DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Water You Waiting For? Analyze Multiple Water Samples Simultaneously With A New Field Device

  Whether it’s checking the health of a stream or a drinking water supply, water testing is performed in a variety of industrial, consumer, and applied research settings to measure water quality and chemistry. Understanding the quality of water (its features such as pH, salinity, or dissolved oxygen) and its chemistry (the presence of compounds like chlorine, ammonia, or nitrogen) is often accomplished with specialized, laboratory-based equipment and systems or field sampling methods.

• External Or Internal Flow Meter Verification – An Independent Review

  To increase the reliability of field devices, some manufacturers equip instruments with internal verification functions based on integrated hardware components. Procedures for the internal testing of devices are not new to the market, but rather a standard feature – at least for MID (European Measuring Instrument Directive) devices. This article looks at the advantages and disadvantages of advanced integrated verification functions for electromagnetic (MAG) flow meters with advanced integrated verification functions compared to external verification.

• Unlocking The Flow: The Transformative Value Of Meter Data Management For Water Utilities

  MDM systems transform raw meter data into actionable intelligence, enhancing operational efficiency, driving proactive leak detection, improving billing accuracy, and supporting vital water conservation initiatives.

• A Pandemic Of Another Kind: Addressing The Issues Of Clean Water Scarcity

  As the coronavirus pandemic in some form continues to move across the world, health professionals are continually reminding us to exercise good hygiene and keep our hands clean. Easy enough, if you have access to a clean source of water. However, according to the USA Water Alliance, there are more than three million people presently that are without a dependable source of safe drinking water in the US. Around the world, this is also a bigger issue, as many people lack access to a source of safe drinking water to maintain their hygiene. Ongoing developments to ensure global water security, as well as provisions for wastewater sanitation services to avoid polluting water sources have been slowly adopted. Droughts and water scarcity have become issues that we are dealing with in the US and around the world.

• Maximize Efficiency With Turnkey Metering Packages

  Read about pre-assembled chemical metering skid systems, a reliable and cost-effective solution for water and wastewater treatment. 

• HeadCell Eliminates Chandler, AZ's Punishing Grit Problem

  Rapid population growth created the need for a plant initially designed for 5 MGD to expand four times over two decades to treat 27 MGD today. With no grit removal the plant struggled with grit since start-up, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on contractors to remove accumulated grit every 2-3 years. The plant wanted to eliminate their grit problems once and for all. Tired of wasting money, time, and effort on this futile but necessary task, the plant hired Wilson Engineers to evaluate various grit removal technologies to determine which type of system would be capable of eliminating their grit problem.

• Texas Has Confirmed Kemio Is An Approved Method For Water Quality Testing

  This is great news for water quality testing. Kemio provides laboratory results, whether in the lab or in the field, allowing the operator to swiftly address water issues. With the multitude of municipalities and laboratories in Texas, this is a huge win for Water Quality Testing!

• When Inches Count: Flow Metering In Constrained Spaces

  From offshore oil platforms that come with a hefty cost for every square foot to college campuses that rely on steam plants in cramped basements, flow metering is critical to many operations where space comes at a premium. The problem is that most flow metering technologies conflict with space limitations because of their substantial straight pipe run requirements. The good news is there is an alternative.

• The Beauty Of Water

  Can water be aesthetic? Absolutely! At any rate, the German-Swiss family business Neoperl ensures that it flows in a highly aesthetic way. Neoperl products shape the water stream, regulate the flow rate and protect water from contamination.

• Utility Removes Burdensome Bulk Sodium Hypochlorite From Operations

  Historically, Lyon County Utilities, Nevada, applied 12.5% bulk sodium hypochlorite for disinfection at each of their well sites. Always looking to improve system efficiency, Lyon County staff reexamined on‐site hypochlorite generation to determine if the use of the 0.8% sodium hypochlorite solution could mitigate the challenges associated with dosing high strength sodium hypochlorite.
